Financial Times: Brussels to Act Against Tech Groups over Terror Content

thesun.co.uk

Brussels plans to force companies including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to identify and delete online terrorist propaganda and extremist violence or face the threat of fines, Financial Times reports.

The European Commission has decided to abandon a voluntary approach to get big internet platforms to remove terror-related videos, posts and audio clips from their websites, in favour of tougher draft regulation due to be published next month. 

Julian King, the EU’s commissioner for security, told the Financial Times that Brussels had “not seen enough progress” on the removal of terrorist material from technology companies and would “take stronger action in order to better protect our citizens”. 

“We cannot afford to relax or become complacent in the face of such a shadowy and destructive phenomenon,” said Mr King.
